Steel hook HSN Code

Understanding Steel Hook HSN Codes

The HSN code for a steel hook primarily depends on its specific type and intended use. Based on the provided data, we can identify several categories:

Firstly, screw hooks and screw rings made of iron or steel are explicitly covered under:

• HSN 73181300: This code specifically covers “Screw Hooks And Screw Rings” and carries an 18% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017. Other general “threaded articles” of iron or steel within HSN 7318 also attract the 18% GST.

Secondly, for hooks used in hand-operated tools or crafting, such as those made of iron or steel:

• HSN 7319: This chapter includes “Sewing Needles, Knitting Needles, Bodkins, Crochet Hooks, Embroidery Stilettos And Similar Articles, For Use In The Hand, Of Iron Or Steel.” Most items under HSN 7319 are subject to an 18% GST rate, though some sewing needles are listed at 12%.

Beyond these specific types, general “articles of iron or steel” can also encompass various other forms of hooks. While the data mentions copper hooks under HSN 7415, the focus here is on steel. The consistent GST rate across various steel hook classifications, whether threaded or for hand-use, appears to be 18%. This uniformity simplifies GST compliance for many steel hook varieties.
